"Rock Crystal Sculpture Of A Reclining Qilin, China, Late 19th Century"

This decorative sculpture depicts a reclining Qilin, carved from a single block of natural crystal at the end of the Qing Dynasty (late 19th century). The stone displays a beautiful transparency, with mineral inclusions and natural fissures characteristic of its age. The peaceful posture and refined lines reflect the traditional aesthetic of scholar-made objects from this period. A symbol of good fortune, protection, and prosperity, the Qilin is portrayed here in a posture of guarding and stability. Mounted on its original carved wooden base, this rare piece combines artistic, cultural, and collector's value.
